But be fast, Legendary Quests are only around until the next set of challenges go live and then they are gone forever.
Season 6 is currently scheduled to last until June 8th, which means we can expect around 12 weeks of challenges before the season is over.
However, with the Fortnite X Batman comic series beginning in April, and the fact it directly ties into Season 6, the season may be extended until July 2021.
